Abstract

An exterior aircraft light unit (2) includes a lens cover (50) and at least one light source (6, 6′) for emitting light through the lens cover. The lens cover has an aerodynamic front edge (52), separating an impinging air stream during flight, and an aerodynamic front region (54) around the aerodynamic front edge. The light emitted by the at least one light source exits the lens cover only outside the aerodynamic front region.
